Obscure OS
My point was - Symbian is NOT your average OS, and takes some specialized training and experience to master. This is an investment in time, energy, money to become proficient at Symbian. For someone to go through all that, and then to write viruses is interesting to me. The compare and contrast is that Linux is known by millions of people - and Symbian is known by a couple thousand maybe. Linux has few to none viruses written for it - and now Symbian has 2. This just reinforces the idea of OSS - many eyes make for secure software.
